lyrics

There was a time when I was young
I found amazement in the setting sun
It wasn't long before that died
I grew up and i got off that ride
And quickly realized that I'd rather die

Times change and I changed too
We all went down different avenues
All the streets all look the same
Even have the same old names
New faces line the street,
New faces for me to meet

Growing up really sucks
When you forget who you are
Growing up really sucks
When you give up everything
Growing up really sucks
When you give up everything
Growing up really sucks
When you forget who you are

So don't you let go
Don't you grow old
Don't you let go
Don't you grow old
Don't you ever,ever grow cold
Don't you let go

Grab your friends and sing out loud
That's what this is all about
Go ahead and drink a beer
Relax you're in the clear
You've got nothing left to lose
But so much more to do

Growing up really sucks
When you forget who you are
Growing up really sucks
When you give up everything
Growing up really sucks
When you give up everything
Growing up really sucks
When you forget who you are

So don't you let go
Don't you grow old
Don't you let go
Don't you grow old
Don't you ever, ever grow cold
Don't you let go
Don't you grow cold
Never grow old
